I strongly do not recommend it. The experience was extremely traumatic, both physically and emotionally. A group of friends and I decided to take part in a regatta organized by this company. We expected to have fun, maybe — basic yacht management skills. In fact, we got chaos, stress and injuries. Personally, I was physically injured (hit in the face) — and this is not an exaggeration, but the result of the captain's actions. From the very first minutes, it became clear that there was no organization here. There is no complete safety briefing. They didn't explain to us how to operate the yacht, or what to do in case of an emergency. We were simply sent to "compete" with three other yachts without any preparation or consultation, despite the fact that most of the participants were beginners. Special attention should be paid to the behavior of the captain, an extremely nervous, irritable man who, in fact, did not know how to explain elementary things. Instead of teaching, he preferred to yell. Moreover, he pointedly ignored women. When it comes to team competitions, this is unacceptable. All the commands and communication were aimed exclusively at men. In fact, he simply pushed women away with the words: “do not interfere.” This is not just neglect, but outright humiliation. During the "competition", the captain stepped on my hand several times, without deigning either an apology or basic attention to the condition of the participants. But the climax was the moment when, in the heat of the moment, he elbowed me in the face—in the nose. Unintentionally or not, it doesn't matter. He did not apologize, did not ask if everything was okay, just continued to shout, confuse commands and demand to complete tasks that he himself could not clearly explain. He confused the right and the left himself, and shifted the responsibility onto us. After asking to be put ashore, there was no reaction. Completely ignoring me, as if I just don't exist. We paid for the experience, training, and impressions—we received humiliation, incompetence, and physical injury. If you value your health, dignity, and safety, avoid this organization. I'm attaching a photo of the captain so that others can find out in advance who they might encounter.

Incredible emotions, adrenaline and drive! We took part in the regatta with my husband, on board you can actively participate in the process and try to manage the yacht yourself! It's a delight! The captain was always there, we felt safe. I advise everyone to experience this pleasure! You will be overshadowed by this sport in such a way that you cannot stop later!

Just WOW! The guy made a surprise and didn't tell me where we were going. An hour later, we're on the yacht, in Sevan, and just the two of us. Sunset, light wind, music, wine, and no one else around. I was really shocked — I never thought that you could have such a cool evening in Armenia. It was better than any restaurant. Thanks to the captain for helping with the atmosphere and calmness on board! I will advise all my friends.
